Groom #3
The Jealous Groom
Allison and Amber are twins, best friends, and partners in crime. They're the ones always causing trouble, raising hell, and living the good life. But striking a deal with the Princes of Norway may have gotten them a teensy bit in over their heads. Now they're on the run from the brothers that have tricked them into marriage…and a whole lot more. It's all fun and games until you make the wrong man jealous.
Magnus and Henrik have decided to share the throne and all of the work that goes along with it. When they finally take a vacation to the Greek Isles, a night at the casino brings them more than just good luck. The twins have made a bet and now it's time to collect…whether they come quietly or not.
Warning: What could be more jealous than a man used to getting everything he wants? How about two of them! The big bossy bruisers (say that three times fast) aren't letting these sassy Americans break their deal.

"The Jealous Groom" is the two part read in with Allison and Amber end up with Magnus and Henrik.
Two sneaky sisters, two obsessed kings, a lot of chase, kidnapping, weddings and HEA. A two part Alexa Riley smut with polar opposite characters falling for each other.
Enjoyed it!

The twins are here, the twins are here, and they found a couple of brothers that want them, chase them and catch them. These guys do not waste a moment once they catch them, and I love it. The twins are so ornery, it’s like dealing with themselves. You know that the two guys that tame the wild twins have to be something else, and they are. I mean….they got the twins to settle down...sheesh, I feel like that says it all.
So we get twice the trouble, twice the ornery shenanigans, twice the sexy heat, twice the dirty talk, twice the epilogues, twice the baby batter, and twice the hea’s. I know, I know, you are welcome. Love this series so much.

Definitely better than the first two but Amber's drama is so dumb

After they escaped them after losing a bet, Magnus and Henrik had been pursuing Allison and Amber for several months. Of course, there was insta-love, but the FMCs continual running away is a result of their own issues and insecurities. They eventually got caught and taken to Norway to get married.
Overall, I enjoyed reading about their cat and mouse game, and it was a quick read.

Alexa Reilly are my go to for quick, steamy reads. They manage to always deliver and pack a quality story into just a few chapters.
No drama. No cheating. Strong alpha males who love with everything in them.
It’s a yes from me.

2 stars only bc it’s the first book I *think* I’ve read by AR where the h’s (the book is basically a two in one; we get both twin sisters) are not virgins and their men are. 😘 I love it. Otherwise it was dead boring.

The final story of the "Groom" siblings, the twin. They found their soulmate at the same time and brothers at that too. Two princes decided to rule the country together and live nearby to each other. But due to the twins bad past of bouncing from foster home to another, they were apprehensive about believing the princes' love; and so the game of convincing and swept-me-off to your jet came into the picture.
I liked how the overall plot idea, though I felt that everything was rushed. I guessed that's the thing with two-story crunched into one, everything seemed to be squeezed in one tiny confinement; the story they met, the bet, the chase, and the seduction. All that left was the claiming. Just jump right into claiming.
Dual virgin
No condoms
No drama/angst
No cheating, No OW/OM, No exes

This was an amazing book. It was a well written, compelling story that grabs the readers attention right from the start. It had so much heat it made me sweat. There was plenty of steam as well. There was love and angst as well. I love the writings of this author and read everything that I can get my hands on. I gave this book five stars and would recommend it to anyone. Wish it could have been longer and more developed.

Allison and Amber are twins and are gallivanting around the world and on one of their nights out, they Magnus and Henrik, brothers and also princes of Norway. They all have a wonderful night together just hanging out, then Allison and Amber leave. Both Magnus and Henrik stop at nothing to find both women. Back in the States, the twins go to their sister Lindsey's wedding where the princes find them. I didn't really like this story, I understand that it's suppose to be a fantasy but it just wasn't believable in any way. I wish that Allison and Amber had their own books and met different men and lived their HEA separately. Magnus ad Henrik were OTT alphas who would do anything for their women. I did like the epilogue where all the siblings; Darian, Lindsey, Allison and Amber spend time together with their kids and significant others.

The Jealous Groom, Book 3 of the Groom trilogy, was about twins Amber and Allison Carlito (the foster sisters of Darian Wilson, the Hero of Book 1, and Lindsey, the Heroine of Book 2), and Magnus and Henrik Strand, two princes of Norway.
This book was divided into two parts. The first nine chapters were devoted to the relationship between Allison and Magnus, while the last nine chapters were about Amber and Henrik. Unfortunately, it also started in what I would call either the middle or 2/3 of the book. The author didn't allow the reader to see how the four characters met except in hindsight when Magnus recounted how he and his brother first met the sisters, which was all too brief and with very little information. The story began with Lindsey and Gibson's wedding reception, and the fact that all four characters were there, only to have Magnus kidnap Allison and take her back to Norway.
The four characters met while they were all on vacation in Greece. Magnus and Henrik had decided to take time away from their kingdom, and women, in order to regroup after a year-long, non-stop takeover from their late mother. When they decided to have some fun at a local casino, they were both unprepared to meet the twins, but each of the men fell in love with one of them...thankfully not the same one.
Part one ended with the HFN for Allison and Magnus, but it also had a bit of a cliffhanger-ish ending, leaving the reader to wonder what would happen next. Part two returned to the wedding reception for Lindsey and Gibson in order to tell the story of Henrik and Amber. From Henrik's thoughts, the reader learned about the plan the two brothers concocted in order to retrieve the twins that would then have them absconding with them back to Norway where they would then marry their respective bride. They were all supposed to end up on the same plane, except something happened that caused Henrik and Amber to miss the flight and they had to take a second private jet back to Norway.
After everyone was married and "loved up", Amber overheard a conversation that caused her to go after her sister and demand the two of them run away from their respective husbands. What she heard made her feel as if Henrik had lied to and betrayed her. Thankfully, the author didn't draw the misunderstanding out for very long, and everything got cleared away PDQ. It was a nice change of pace, because so many authors allow the misunderstandings to go on until just before the story ends.
There was just enough angst and drama to keep this short story interesting. The other emotions were a nice touch, with both of the men easily calming their respective bride's fears. While the characters weren't completely fleshed out, they did show some maturing over the short span of time. There was a bit too much of the girls both being wishy-washy, though. It was as if they just couldn't make up their minds to be happy, or to continue on in their misery.
The storyline was a good one, but it had quite a few unfinished paths that needed a better conclusion. Other than that, it was a decent ending to the trilogy. Because the first two books were added to my Keeper for the Shelves collection, I'll add this one as well, giving it a 3.5-star rating, rounded up to four stars.

Holy crap - this was a wild ride told from the POVs of all four main characters! Our heroines are the twin foster sisters of the hero of the first book and the heroine of the second book and their heroes happen to be the two brothers who happen to be princes of Norway. After a night at a casino in Monte Carlo, the girls decide to run and the guys decide to chase them... all over Europe and back to the States. Both of these princes are super-Alphas - while I was not about the kidnapping them to marry them, they did win me over quickly. The book was split into two parts - one for each couple covering the same time frame - and an epilogue. There was a lot of info here and would have stood on its own as a full novel if it had been fleshed out more, but all in all, I was completely satisfied and am looking for the next Alexa Riley release!

well who wouldn't want to be loved, and whisked away in a castle,
-------
"It was a dress that said look at me, and I fucking did."
" and when I took her hand in mine, it was the first time in my life that I truly knew what I wanted my future to look like."
"He’s handsome beyond belief and wants to make me a freaking princess, or is it a queen? Either way, isn't that what most girls dream about? I wouldn't know because I never allowed myself to dream"
"You may have not found your place in life before me, but now your place is always by my side.
My heart will be your home, and you will live there for all eternity"

This was fun! Two steamy romances for the price of one as twins Allison and Amber try to avoid the inevitability that is Magnus and Henrique, co-ruling princes of Norway. Two naughty twins pursued by twin princes very much determined to collect on a promise of matrimony.
April 5, 2021
Twins meet prince brother, two separate short stories in one. No real intro to how the four met just a quick backstory that doesn’t really make you feel connected to the characters, everything seemed rushed and the story jumped straight into the claiming

In true Kelly fashion, I started a series with the last book, for whatever reason I never start at the beginning, haha.
Another delicious read from AR.
Magnus and Henrik knew they wanted Allison and Amber and didn't hesitate to go after them. Convention be damned.
3 big stars!
